Chapter 188 – That’s Why You’re Having a Company Relationship

I was lying on the bed and watching ●Tube, but I got a text message from Mina. Are you free on Thursday? I thought this was a date request.

“Mr. Jiheon? Could you make three copies of this?”

“Ah yes! Wait a minute.”

“In the meantime, please clean the bathroom. It piled up a bit.”

“Yes, I’ll make a copy and do it right away!”

“While you are going to make copies, I would like you to empty the trash can as well.”

“Yes, please wait!”

It wasn’t a date, it was a part-time job request to help out with his company.

The first time I came to Mina’s company, it was wider than I thought. It was about half the floor of a large building. There were about 30 people, so it seemed like a somewhat large company.

She finished all the tasks she was asked to do, and came out of the bathroom, shaking off the water she had spilled from washing the dishes. I went into the office and saw people working hard.

Each of them seemed very busy tapping on the computer keyboard at their desk or making a phone call somewhere.

Well, since he’s busy, he must have asked me for help.

My job here was to help busy people bit by bit. Simple things like photocopying and cleaning like you just did. Even if he was a warrior before, this was the only company job that a freshman in college could do.

At first, it was my first time, so I was embarrassed and made a few mistakes. Make some free time like this.

I took a short break to look at the company. Mina was young for a company president, so the employees seemed younger too. Most of them were in their 20s, and the oldest-looking person was only in their mid-30s.

She looked at the hard-working people and turned her gaze to the left. There, unlike her general staff, there was a glassed-in office for the president.

“…”

“…”

In the president’s office, there was a man in a suit who seemed to be reporting, and Mina shaking her head. She used to be expressionless with us, but now she talked to the man with a smile on her lips.

If anyone saw it, it would seem that he thought of that man as more important than me, Demon King, or Sehee. But I knew that the emotionless face was rather sincere.

Looking at it without thinking, the man bowed his head to Mina and came out of the president’s office. When he made eye contact with me, he raised the corner of his mouth as if it was a good thing.

Why are you like that? I wanted to, but the man confirmed that the door to the president’s office was closed and shouted at me.

“Hey! Alba! You’re not doing it right!”

Haha, that bastard It’s starting again.

Contrary to my thoughts, I smiled politely and approached him.

“Yes, why?”

“Why?”

“… What are you doing?”

“Alba you, you. Didn’t you do that?”

“What are you talking about?”

“There is that, that!”

Having already called me, he looked around for a reason to call. I stared at him with the cause and effect reversed.

Black horn-rimmed glasses, a face with prominent cheekbones due to slender cheeks, and a suit that looked strict, were neat enough that not a single speck of dust could be seen. There was a name tag on the chest, and I could see that it was written Hae-Seon, Park.

Everyone was dressed comfortably, but he, the only one in a stuffy suit, pointed to a desk near him and shouted.

“You should empty the trash can. Uh? What are you doing without emptying it? Are you playing? Do you make money easily?”

You should have just told me to empty the trash can. Do I have to say that?

Of course, without expressing this, I barely raised the corner of my mouth and said.

“Sorry. I’ll clean it right away.”

“No, honey.”

But our Haesun, Pak, did not let me go easily. He put his hand on my shoulder while calling me by a title that no one among Mawang, Se-hee, and Min-ah would ever say.

“I know he works hard. Yes?”

Every time I spoke, the smell of instant coffee wafted from my mouth. I did my best not to frown because the smell of cigarettes was mixed with it.

“But if it’s like this, it’s troublesome. No matter how much you know the boss, you are in a position to make money. Yes?”

“…”

“Aren’t you going to answer me?”

“Ah yes.”

“Yes, if an adult speaks, you should answer. Not ignoring Anyway, my darling. If you’re here to make money, work hard. Understand? Don’t play around.”

“All right.”

“Aren’t you offended by what I said?”

“… Yes.”

“Okay. So let’s go to work try hard.”

Then he put the arm around his shoulder.

Haha, that bastard

I cleared my boiling heart and picked up the trash can in front of me.

At a time like this, the other world was envious. You can send at least one kid like this to the goal there. Even now, you can break your head.

But it didn’t work. There is a law, and I got to work here with the introduction of Minah. Even if she was only a part-time job, she could tarnish her name if she did something wrong.

I calmly threw out the trash, worrying about Mina more than my safety. As she picked up her empty trash can and put it back, the employee sitting there lowered her eyes and whispered an apology.

“Sorry, I have to.”

“No. It’s my job.”

“But you weren’t in a bad mood earlier, were you? I think I would have.”

“Well, it would be a lie if I said otherwise.”

“Originally, that bastard is like that.”

She was a little surprised when she was cursed at a female employee who seemed calm. Even so, she didn’t show it and chimed in.

“Is it so?”

“Yes. He’s the boss of the business partner, but he believes in that and runs amok. I often find fault with people here and annoy them. But especially that…”

“It’s Jiheon. Kang Ji-heon.”

“Ah yes. Is it especially hard for Jiheon? Did I do anything wrong?”

No matter how much I thought about it, I didn’t do anything that could be called rude to him. Of course, seeing it for the first time today, I didn’t buy anything I wanted.

“I do not know.”

Chubby

At this time, a knocking on the glass was heard from behind. I turned around and saw Mina standing and looking at me.

Dressed in jeans that showed off her leg line and a pink sweater that looked fluffy, she pointed to her side without saying a word. Minah, who could feel her cuteness as well as her sexiness, pointed to the door leading to her president’s office.

As she watched Mina act with a light smile, she asked a female employee.

“That means come in, right?”

“… “

“Hey?”

Tadadak! Ride on!

She turned to the female employee, and she was already working, typing something on her computer. She had been talking until just now, and she stared blankly at her suddenly concentrating, and then Mina knocked on her glass again.

Chubby

“It means come. Take care.”

“… Take care.”

Hearing a similar greeting, he went into the president’s office. I asked Mina, closing the door so that the voice wouldn’t leak out.

“Minah, why?”

But she didn’t answer and quietly lowered the blinds. The first thing we did after making it so that we couldn’t see what we were doing in the office was,

“I’m sorry, Jiheon.”

It was a bowed apology.

“Ugh, what’s wrong!”

I hurriedly made Mina stand up.

“Why, all of a sudden!”

“Sorry. I didn’t expect you to be this busy today. I am sincerely sorry.”

“No, it’s okay.”

I stopped Minah from bowing her head again, and I tried to reassure her with her smiling face.

“You think I’m glad you called me?”

“Yes?”

“Even if you only did simple things, you were very busy. Without me, the staff here and you would have been in a lot of trouble, but I’m glad you called me. Really.”

“…”

“Because it’s okay. And it’s not like you’re getting it for free. How much did I say per hour?”

“… 10,000 won an hour.”

“If you work at our restaurant, it’s the minimum hourly wage, no matter how many there are. Busy is busier there. I’m not struggling that much. Rather, it is a little fun.”

“… Is that so.”

“Is that so? And you know what’s the best?”

As he spoke, he held Minah’s face in front of him with both hands. He cupped her soft cheeks with her hands and mischievously twisted her pretty face.

“I can see you working. I love that.”

“Whe?”

Mina asked in a slurred voice as the wind crushed her mouth like clay. This look was so cute I couldn’t stop laughing.

She continued her speech as she looked at Mina with her loving eyes.

“It is said that women are attracted to men who work hard, but it seems to be the same even when men and women change. Your work was so pretty. It was so charming.”

“…”

Again, she didn’t answer. But unlike before, a smile bloomed on her silent lips.

“… It is an honour.”

“I am more honored. Our CEO, Chae Min-ah, is Nieeeee!”

It was so cute that I squeezed her face. Perhaps this made her feel good, Minah closed her eyes and remained still.

Aww, cute!

So she lowered her hand, which she had been kneading for a while, and sat down at the small round table near her. She saw that there was a snack on it, so she picked it up and asked.

“Can I eat this?”

“Yes that’s right. Eat as much as you like.”

“Okay. Thank you.”

She looked around her while eating the snack. There were two desks in the boss’s office, which was a little bigger than my room. This table I was sitting on and the desk Mina used to use.

I remembered the image of her sitting there giving orders to her subordinates. At the same time, what I did.

“By the way, do you often pick part-time jobs? I don’t think she needs that much.”

I was definitely busy. But should I? There were only chores to the extent that I thought that.

To my question, Mina sat down next to her and answered.

“Yes, sometimes, like Jiheon, I pick up a part-time job and do chores. I usually pick younger siblings, but the kid I decided to do today suddenly said no, so I asked Jiheon. Sorry.”

“Because I’m not sorry. By the way, brother?”

When she had a drinking party with the three of her like the demon king, she said that she was from a nursery school.

Then Mina nodded her head and replied.

“Yes. I am giving the children in the orphanage both pocket money and giving them social experience.”

Oh, you’re talking about the children in the orphanage.

Nodding her head, Mina picked up her sweets. She opens the wrapper, but she doesn’t eat it herself, but holds it out to me.

“Jiheon, eat this too.”

“Uh? No. Eat you.”

“Never mind me. I can eat that.”

When she said that, she pointed to the snack I was eating.

“Uh? This?”

I handed out a cookie that had already taken a bite and had teeth marks on it. But this was no different from tempting them to eat.

“Yes, yes!”

“!”

She leaned over and ate the cookie I was holding. She was so surprised that her front teeth brushed against her fingertips and her lips touched, but she didn’t react.

Mina covered her mouth and said with a modest expression.

“Well, of course this tastes better.”

“Uh, huh?”

“Jiheondo will taste better this way.”

Saying that, she held up a cookie.

“Are you not going to eat?”

“… I will eat.”

I slowly bowed my head to the snack Mina was holding. And when the crispy cookie crust touches her lips,

Chubby!

“!”

A knock was heard.

While I was surprised, Mina quickly shoved the cookie into her mouth.

“Town! Crunching!”

I quickly chewed on my snack and looked towards the door where I heard a knock. There was a shadow of a person through the gap in the blinds covering the glass door. But to see that here means to see that here too.

Look, did you see?

“Yes, hold on!”

Mina got up and walked to the door. When she raised the blinds, she said something she had told me earlier, and she stood there.

Raising the blinds, she opened the door and asked Hae-seon and Pax.

“Yes, what are you doing?”

“Oh, that’s it, boss! I have come to see you.”

He unfolded the folder he was holding and explained to Mina. But in the middle of the explanation, he glanced at me and glared at me.

Why is he like that? Did you see it? No, if that was the case, I would have panicked and avoided my seat. I’m not staring like that.

Anyway, when she remembered what had happened a moment ago, her heart pounded. I was surprised and thrilled. I thought that this is why you are having an office relationship.

“… So I came because I thought I needed a decision from the president.”

After the explanation, Mina asked while acting her smile.

“I heard the explanation. By the way, Mr. Haesun.”

“Yes, boss!”

He answered with a bright face unlike when he ordered me earlier. Mina said to that face.

“Wouldn’t it be okay if you just emailed me this?”

“Ah, I thought it would be better to explain it face to face.”

“Anyway, please send me an e-mail next time. Even if you don’t know the big things, it’s a waste of time to come to you with small things.”

“Certainly that is,”

Suddenly he scratched the back of his head as if embarrassed.

“For me, it’s not a waste of time.”

Is that kid?
